This year is about a white Christmas with all the trimmings and celebrating my 30th …

Escaping ...
Christmas will be in Berlin with friends who are closing their restaurant St.Bart to cook for a group of us, followed by a getaway to Stroud over New Years for countryside walks, reading by the fire, mulled wine and long lunches at the local pub.

Essentials ...
It’s all about layers – silk thermals, cashmere socks, a good sweater. Beauty wise hydration is key.

Celebrating ...
I’m looking forward to bringing in 2018 with good friends at a local pub in Stroud whose owners I’ve been told know how to celebrate. Perfect occasion for those Balenciaga boots just ticked off the Christmas wishlist.
